The objects of the Society are social, educational and patriotic, and 
the Society is formed for the particular purpose of perpetuating the 
memory of the men who in military, naval and civil service of the 
Colonies and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or counsel, 
achieved the Independence of the Country ; and to further the proper 
celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, and 
prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution ; to 
collect and secure for preservation the manuscripts, records and other 
documents relating to that period ; to inspire the members of the 
Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to promote 
the feeling of fellowship among its members. 

AETICLE III.

Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eli- 
gible to membership in this Society who is descended from an ancestor, 
as the propositus, who, either as a military, naval or marine officer,

soldier, sailor, or marine, or official in the service of any one of the 
thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government 
representing or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in es- 
tablishing American Independence dm-ing the War of the Revolution, 
between the 19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, 
and the 19th day of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease. 

Provided : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service 
of an ancestor in the " minute men " or " militia," it must be satis- 
factorily shown that such ancestor was actually called into the service 
of the State or United States, and performed garrison or field duty ; and 

Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the 
service of an ancestor as a "sailor" or "marine," it must in like 
manner be shown that such service M'as other than shore duty and

the original thirteen States, or on an armed vessel, other than a merchant 
ship, which sailed under letters of marque and reprisal, and that such 
ancestor of the applicant was duly enrolled in the ship's company,

Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the 
service of an ancestor as an " official," such service must have been 
performed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the

cliaracter to Iiave rendered the official specially liable to arrest and

Great Britain.

SECTION XIV. 
Expulsion and Suspension. 

The Board of Managers shall have power to expel any enrolled 
member of this Society who, by conduct unbecoming a gentleman 
and a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the 
Community in general or of this Society in particular, may render 
himself unworthy to continue a member, or who shall persistently

18 

SECTION XV. 

Resignation. 

No resignation or voluntary withdrawal from membership by any 
member enrolled in this Society shall become effective as a release 
from the obligations thereof, unless consented to and accepted by the 
Board of Managers. 

SECTION XVI. 

Disqualification. 

No person who may be enrolled as a member of this Society shall 
be permitted to continue in membership when the proofs of claim of 
qualification by descent shall be found to be defective and insuffi- 
cient to substantiate such claim, or not properly authenticated. The 
Society, or the Board of Managers, may, at any time after thirty 
days' notice to such person to properly substantiate or authenticate 
his claim, require the Secretary to erase his name from the list of 
members, and such person shall thereupon cease to be a member : 
Provided, he shall have failed or neglected to comply satisfactorily 
with such notice. 

Where the Board of Managers shall direct the erasure of a person's 
name for a cause comprehended under this section, such person shall 
have a right of appeal to the next annual meeting of the Society ; 
but he shall not be restored to membership unless by a vote of three-

meeting to which the consideration of the appeal may have been 
specifically postponed. 

SECTION XVII. 

Service of Notices. 

It shall be the duty of every member to inform the Secretary, by 
written communication, of his place of residence, his post-office ad-

19 

Service of any notice under the Constitution or By-Laws upon 
any member of the Society, addressed to him at his last recorded 
place of residence or post-office address, and forwarded by mail, 
shall be deemed sufficient service of such notice. 

SECTION xvni. 
Nominating Committee. 

The Society may at the annual meeting choose a Nominating 
Committee of seven members to nominate officers and members 
of the Board of Managers for election at the succeeding annual 
meeting. 

In case the Society shall not choose such a Committee, the President 
shall, prior to every annual meeting, appoint such Nominating Com- 
mittee from among the members, exclusive of officers or members of 
the Board of Managers. The Nominating Committee shall select and 
nominate a ticket to fill the respective offices to be elected by ballot, 
which ticket shall be printed and distributed as the " regular ticket," 
by mailing one copy to each member of the Society at least five days 
prior to the ensuing annual election ; but in order to secure as far as 
may be in the Board of Managers stability in procedm-e and familiarity 
with precedents in the business affairs of the Society, it shall be the 
duty of every Nominating Committee so to arrange their recommend- 
ations as to provide for the renomination annually of at least nine of 
the members of the Board of Management, so that not more than one- 
fourth of the entu'e number shall be changed at any election. 

SECTION XIX. 

AXTEEATIONS OR AMENDMENTS. 

No alteration or amendment of the By-Laws of the Society shall 
be made unless notice thereof shall be duly given in writing, signed
